ABSTRACT
KIFC2 plays an important role in prostate cancer progression and chemotherapy resistance, but the mechanism of its involvement in other malignancies remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze and validate the mechanism of effect of KIFC2 in multiple tumors. Bioinformatic analysis was performed in conjunction with multiple databases (The Cancer Genome Atlas, Genotype-Tissue Expression Project, Human Protein Atlas, etc.) to fully explore the potential role of KIFC2 within individual tumors and to analyze the correlation with major research components such as prognosis, mutations, and the tumor microenvironment. The expression of KIFC2 demonstrates a significant correlation with the prognosis, clinical phenotype, tumor mutational burden, microsatellite instability, and tumor microenvironment across various malignancies and is associated with the modulation of diverse functional and signaling pathways. The differences in the expression of KIFC2 in the bladder cancer tissues (14 pairs) were statistically significant. The pan-cancer analysis in this study revealed the multifunctionality of KIFC2 in a variety of tumors, indicating a possible prognostic predictor and potential therapeutic target for tumors.
